NFL picks: Blown Coverage

To the NFL: Bite Me!

Let me be more specific: to whatever asshole negotiates the NFL TV contracts: BITE ME!!!!

I live in NYC. This weekend my beloved Chargers are playing in Buffalo, a game between two quality teams which will likely have big playoff implications. Buffalo is in the same state. The Bills are in the same division as the Jets. There are a lot of reasons that this game should be broadcast here in NYC.

Instead, its fucking blacked out. Why? Because god-for-fucking-bid that anything distract viewers here from the crapfest that will be the Jets against the Raiders. Its not even that they had to pick one game or the other to broadcast, they are on two separate stations, but the NFL is blacking out the Bolts game in this area. Bite Me, NFL TV contracts.

Last weeks picks were a perfectly mediocre 6-6, bringing my season record to 48-30-4. On to the picks:

BIG BLUE -10.5 49ers

Bounce Back game against a weak team flying cross country for a 1PM start.

Stillers -9.5 KITTIES

Only because Carson Palmer is still hurt.

CHEFS +8.5 The Kerry Collins Experience

Herm Edwards is due for another surprise effort out of his club, thus saving his job for another few weeks.

UPDATE: No LJ? No way! I'm changing to Titans -8.5.

DA BEARS -3 Vikings

Bears be pissed, Vikings be kinda sucky.

Norval's fantastic traveling circus featuring the never healing toe injury +1 BILLS

As always, we need this one. And the NFL needs to get its head out of its ass.

PANTHERS -3 WHO DAT

Panthers are tough at home and the Saints are due for another let down week.

Brad Johnson -7 Jim Haslett

Replacement who won the Super Bowl versus one replacement who screwed me out of my suicide pool.

Ravens +3 FISH

Birds bounce back in must win contest.

QB who scores TDs -9.5 QB who scores Safeties

Moo Cows extend their winning streak to 2.

Raiders +3 JETS

The Raiders have just enough pass rush and ball hawks for Favre to throw 3 picks and keep this close.

Colts -2 PACK

The train is gaining momentum and Aaron Rodgers ain't gonna stop it.

Inexplicable Week 6 Upset Victim -7 Inexplicable Week 6 Upset Victor

Damn u, ZORN! You violated Rule # 1 and cost me my suicide pool!

BUCS -10 Seachickens

Just too hurt to go on the road against a team like the Bucs.

PATS -3.5 Donks

I can't believe I'm back to rooting for a team from Boston, at least for this week.
